| - I come from a chatty family.
With that said, my sister ALWAYS meets someone interesting when she flies -- she's so outgoing!
On her flight here to visit me, she met a man from Bangladesh that lives in Chandler. During their discussion she told him of her love of Indian food, and he told her about this brand-new Indian & Pakistani restaurant.
This place is AMAZING. The decor is really beautiful -- the tables have these colorful, carved wood chairs. Very unusual, but very pretty.
We opted for the buffet -- it's nice to have variety, and it gives you a good idea of the caliber of a place -- and EVERYTHING was awesome. One of the first things I tried was Indus chicken. It reminds me a little of tandoori chicken -- it doesn't have any sauce -- but different. It was incredible -- really tender, and I don't know what the seasoning was, but it was so yummy, I wanted to roll myself in it...
The chicken tikka masala, the paneer tikka masala, aloo gobi, rice, raita, okra, and chickpeas -- everything was wonderul. Then, there is the naan. Oh holy mother of God, the naan. Hands down, the best I've ever had! With that said, it was a *little* pricey -- with the buffet and drink it was about $18 (without tip).
The owner of the restaurant was so friendly -- very chatty -- loved hearing about how my sister heard about his restaurant. Most of the people eating there were South Asian -- so you KNOW it rocks.
I don't live close to Chandler, but I will be back, AND OFTEN! If you love Indian food, I implore you -- RUN, DON'T WALK to this restaurant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just remember to go hungry - it may be a little expensive, but it's SO worth it!
